Vehicle fire closes I-41 northbound lanes in southern Fond du Lac County

A vehicle fire on I-41 Friday night, November 8, 2024, halted traffic for about 15 minutes while fire fighters extinguished the fire.

At about 9:15 PM, calls started coming in from passerbys of a vehicle fire on the northbound shoulder of I-41 just south of County Highway F. The Brownsville Fire Department was called to the scene to put out the fire but wind was blowing the smoke across the northbound lanes so it was decided to close the highway until the fire was out and the smoke was cleared.

No one was reported injured in the fire.
